A young 12 year old, Effie Bradley, discovers that she is the only one in her family who recognizes that her grandfather who has had a massive stroke is able to communicate by blinking and no one believes her. What she learns from her Gramps of his intense emotional pain since the death of his wife and the actions she takes leads her down a path that nearly destroys her life and nearly breaks apart her family forever.

Follow the adult decisions that this young girl feels she and she alone has to make. Effie's actions bring the police, lawyers and the district attorney into the story after she helps her Gramps deal with his pain.

"In this emotional story, told through Effie and different members of the Bradley family, author Rosalie Olds has created an unusual and gripping family drama." Christopher Meeks, author of A Death in Vegas

Rosalie Olds began writing about fifteen years ago. Her early writings were her memoirs, but she soon exchanged fact for fiction when she realized that she was fabricating incidents to enhance her story line. The short story became her chief means of expression for many years. This is her first novel.

She was born, Rosalie Lasker, growing up in the Bronx, New York. She received her B.A. at the University of Iowa where she met her husband, Stanley, of Portland, Oregon. They have three children and four grandchildren.

On moving to Worcester, Massachusetts in 1957 she began studying sculpture and pottery at the Worcester Center for Crafts. Besides her writing, she is a committed clay artist, still sculpting and teaching the medium. She is currently working on her second novel. She is eighty eight years old.
